NYLT Courses

National Youth Leadership Training is an exciting, action-packed program designed for councils to provide youth members with leadership skills and experience they can use in their home troops and in other situations demanding leadership of self and others.

The NYLT course centers around the concepts of what a leader must BE, what he must KNOW, and what he must DO. The key elements are then taught with a clear focus on HOW TO. The skills come alive during the week as the patrol goes on a Quest for the Meaning of Leadership.

NYLT is either a two weekend Winter Course) or a six-day course (Summer Course). Content is delivered in a troop and patrol outdoor setting with an emphasis on immediate application of learning in a fun environment. Interconnecting concepts and work processes are introduced early, built upon, and aided by the use of memory aids, which allows participants to understand and employ the leadership skills much faster.

EVERY SCOUT DESERVES A TRAINED LEADER

The summer and fall are a great time to get trained. Maybe your unit is not meeting as often or is gone at camp or a high adventure event. So you have some time to invest in getting better at delivering the promise of Scouting. Training will help you be better and make the work easier to accomplish. Let's do it!

Here are some ideas for upgrading your training:
>> Youth Protection (update every two years)
>> First Aid, CPR, AED training (update every two years)
>> Leader Specific Training (Take it when you get a new Scouting job, and re-take it every few years. There are always new ideas.)
